Tennessee dog owner sends his dog to be euthanized because he suspects the dog is gay

A Tennessee dog owner sent his pet to be euthanized because he suspected the dog was "gay." Fortunately, the pup was later adopted.

A Jackson, Tenn., resident surrendered his "gay" dog for euthanization to the Jackson Rabies Control Animal Shelter on Jan. 29 because he saw his male pitbull/American bulldog mix "humping" another male dog, the Examiner reports.

The Huffington Post confirmed with Jackson Rabies Control, a high-kill shelter, that the dog had been surrendered because his owner believed he was "gay."

Although animals can be gay, dogs mount each other to express dominance, for play or because of nervousness/excitement, Psychology Today notes.

4. Hi Dr. Kevorkian, would you please take a look at my brother in law?

He listens to nothing but Lee Greenwood and Hank Williams Jr., his diet consists of nothing but Coors and Cheetos and can't seem to communicate without profanity and spitting tobacco juice. I'm pretty sure it's time to put him down.
